Water, energy, and food are basic requirements for life

This book presents solutions for obtaining these from sewage wastewater treatment plants. It describes the optimal recovery of value-added products from municipal sewage plants in developing countries, and explains how the plants’ operations can become both economical and sustainable.

Utilization of clean effluent and recovered biogas

Further, it shows how the clean effluent that is obtained is then suitable for agricultural use in the production of bio-fertilizers, and graywater for irrigation, and how the recovered biogas could be used for energy and heating needs.

Case studies

Practical case studies from three separate sewage plants are presented to illustrate the processes involved.
